Repost from last page:


I could buy that devil's advocate response. Now, that still doesn't explain Paterno's lack of response. An incident in the 90's, another one in 2002, then nothing is done until 2011. Clearly, this administration thought enough of Paterno to consult him before taking the next step.

Exactly! I was amazed how some posters did not believe that and claimed he did what he was suppose to do and it was left in the hands of his superiors! Dude was Penn St!

JoPa defenders kill me. He ran the athletic program. Bonus was on him to question McQueery about the incident. No way I believe he didn't do so. He is a piece of shite AND enabling Sandusky is just as bad as molesting the kids himself.

But he was old and confused!

If he didn't understand HALF the stuff he says he didn't, there is absolutely no way he could have as much control as a lot of people think he did. That makes him a liar on top of being a pedophile enabler. They should distance themselves as far from the paterno name as they can.

Joe Pa stole victories from somebody else who was actually coaching the team to pad his own win record. It's ridiculous that he got credit for wins after about 2002. Dude had to go back in the locker room after using the bathroom on himself.

I know. I have been saying the exact same thing for years. He was nothing more than a mascot for at LEAST the last ten years. Maybe more

i wonder how many members of the Paterno family are still on the Penn State payroll or something related to Penn State football (like the radio network)

Except Joe pa is on record under oath saying he never talked about the incident after reporting to his boss. Clearlythis is now a proven lie. So we have a liar and after talking to the liar, they went the 'humane' way. I think we have a reasonable argument on what his position is.

Yup sickening. It was pretty obvious when he transferred the house to his wife for $1 to avoid any taxes when he died was because of the cancer diagnosis, that he's likely had for years.

It's my opinion that JoePa committed an assisted-suicide, he died way too quick and without the major side effects cancer patients show. The guy knew way before 2001. He ran that place bar none, nothing involving the football team would've happened without his consent.

The Devil's Advocate response:

That tells you absolutely nothing about what Joe Pa's stance on the question was-- just how the individual writing that email felt after talking to him. Indeed, 'having trouble with what we agreed were the next steps. I am having trouble going to everyone but the person involved' is more indicative that the consensus had been (of which Joe Pa had been at least a part [even if you assume a dissenting part]) that they should go to the authorities and accused, rather than directly to the victim themselves.

For all that we can prove, Joe may have said 'Sandusky has always been a weird SOB. I have known him for decades, but this shite isn't kosher. I'm ready to string him up', taking his conversation partner aback-- and he just as easily could have said 'Whew. We should just cover this up, c'mon man, it could cost us millions.'

The key is what the assumption is that you make about the content of the Paterno conversation was. Without that context, no, you can't string up Paterno nor can you vindicate him-- its simply not possible to tell, without an assumption of significant proportions.
it pokes a big hole in the paterno worshiper's story that joepa didnt know more. it specifically stakes they discussed the problem with him and nothing happened from there
